What is inside the file
One sheet · 10 rows · 4 columns · 3 formulas. The first row uses these columns: What it does. Everything is plain cells and formulas — no macros, no add-ins, no external links.
How to use it
Open the template in the editor, replace the example rows with your own values, and keep the formulas where they are. Download the .xlsx when you are done. If you only need a quick change, you can also download the file and open it in Excel, LibreOffice Calc, or Google Sheets.
When this template fits
Use it for you want a working example of formulas rather than a finished tracker — for example, learning SUM, AVERAGE, IF, or COUNTIF on a small safe file. It is a starting structure, not a finished accounting system.
What it does not do
This workbook does not include pivot tables, conditional formatting, data validation, sheet images, or password protection. Those features are outside what the browser editor supports, so the template stays deliberately simple. For a model that depends on them, use desktop Excel.
